Dog friendly desserts in Surbiton
If you’re always on the lookout for cosy spots where your dog is genuinely welcome, this little gem in Surbiton needs to be on your list.
We recently visited Gala Gelato and honestly… it’s one of those places that just feels good the moment you walk in.
🍨 A Sweet Spot for Humans (and Dogs)
From artisan Italian gelato in so many flavours to fresh fruit smoothies, crepes, waffles, milkshakes and great coffee, everything we tried was delicious.
The gelato is beautifully made, with options including:
- Classic Italian flavours
- Coconut vegan options
- Vegetarian choices
You can really taste the quality, the fruit flavours are vibrant and refreshing, and everything feels thoughtfully made.
And if you’re more of a breakfast person, they also serve:
- Greek yoghurt
- Granola
- Pastries
- Fresh smoothies made with fresh fruits and vegetables (my top favourite)
Perfect if you’re heading there after the gym (which many locals do!) or stopping by for a relaxed morning coffee.
🐶 Yes… They Have Dog Ice Cream
The part that made us smile the most?
They serve dog ice cream with collagen. 🦴🍦
Watching pups and their humans enjoying treats together just makes the whole experience extra special. It’s not just “dog-friendly”, it genuinely feels like dogs are part of the family here.
Dogs (and even cats!) are welcomed into the cosy seating area, which makes such a difference during colder months.
✨ The Story Behind Gala Gelato
We had the chance to speak with the owner, and hearing her journey made us love the place even more.
- They got the keys at the end of July 2025, opening first for gelato during the summer.
- Initially, they focused on gelato, milkshakes, waffles and crepes.
- In October 2025, they began designing and decorating the space to create a warm, cosy, family-friendly atmosphere.
- The sitting area officially opened on 23 November 2025.
Her vision?
To create a welcoming space where people can pop in after dinner, before or after the gym, or simply spend quality time with family, furry members included.
And they’re not stopping there. Even more breakfast options are planned for the future.
🫶 Why We Loved It
It’s not just about the food (although that’s amazing).
It’s the feeling. Cosy interiors. Friendly atmosphere. Fresh ingredients. Dogs happily sitting beside their humans.
It’s the kind of neighbourhood café you want to keep going back to.
